Have if priced through your local dealer? I have found they usually are within 5 bucks of pricing compared to reputable online stores. Plus no shipping costs and sometimes no wait. Mine here in the Houston area will cut me a break most of the time when I order multiple items, just ask no harm in that.

Circle BMW is very good with parts up your way. To be honest most of the time if you ask and tell them getbmwparts or whatever has it for this price what can they do? Most of the time they will tell you the best they are willing to do. At least you will know and not assume.

Most will automatically give you a 10-15% discount just saying you are a member. I am fortunate and I get things at a much better break. I get it at cost + a percentage. Some have more margins than others so it works out for me that way. I don't buy a ton of parts but its nice when I need something.

Good Luck but I think a local shop is just easier to deal with and most of their parts has a two year warranty parts and labor. Even if you install the part it will cover the labor if the part fails and it was determined to be installed correctly.

BMA, ECS, Tischer, Autohauz. Depends on what you're buying and what shipping comes out to (some places have free shipping if you spend $x amount). It's worth pricing out at different places. You can compare prices using www.furiousmethod.com. The site is insanely annoying, but it works.

This is the online wholesale arm of Faulkner BMW in Pennsylvania.
Patrick Casey is your contact guy. I bet you that he can get you what you need ...only genuine OEM parts.....for a better price than all of the other venues.
His pricing is simple. 10% over dealer cost.

I'm a repeat customer. ECS Tuning is cool too but shipping costs are a bit pricey even with $>$200+ spent.

This.
Especially with returns - easy and quick, even if parts special are ordered.

feel free to PM me if you need help finding the right part! If we don't have an aftermarket option (and your interested in one) just let me know and I'll have my guys dig around and try to source one for you!
